# Bloomingdale's Straps (Kids Underwear & Undershirts, Women's Bras, and Women's Panties) Field Guide

> Fixed, removable, adjustable, convertible?.  Max character limit of 254 characters (including spaces).

**Straps** is a required feature bullet in Bloomingdale's women's bras department. It states how the straps behave: fixed, removable, adjustable, convertible, racerback, spaghetti, wide, padded or criss-cross. A women's bras listing cannot be submitted from Osello until it has a value, and Bloomingdale's shows the phrase as a bullet in the details section of the product page, where a shopper checks whether the straps will hide under a racerback tank or come off for a strapless dress.

## The rules

| Rule | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Required | Yes |
| Maximum length | 254 characters, spaces included |
| Form | One phrase, no trailing period |
| Level | Parent listing, one value for the whole style |
| Department | Women's bras |

Combine the strap qualities that apply, in one phrase: "Adjustable straps", "Removable, convertible straps", "Fixed wide straps", "Padded racerback straps". The bullet is shared across the style, so never describe one color or one size. Garments sold without straps leave the field blank, which for a required bullet means a strapless bra needs the word "Strapless" to pass readiness.

## Strap vocabulary

| Term | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| Fixed | Sewn in, not adjustable or removable |
| Adjustable | Slider lets the wearer change the length |
| Removable | Detach fully for a strapless look |
| Convertible | Reattach in more than one configuration (halter, criss-cross, one-shoulder) |
| Racerback | Straps join between the shoulder blades |
| Criss-cross | Straps cross at the back |
| Spaghetti | Thin straps |
| Wide or padded | Broader or cushioned straps for support |

## Examples

| Value | Verdict | Reason |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Adjustable straps | Good | The most common value |
| Removable, convertible straps | Good | Two qualities in one phrase |
| Fixed padded racerback straps | Good | Width, padding and back style |
| Straps | Weak | Says nothing |
| Comfortable straps you will love | Weak | Marketing, no fact |
| Adjustable straps in black | Weak | Names one colorway |
| The straps adjust at the back. | Weak | A sentence with a period |

## Common mistakes

- Leaving the field blank because the source data does not mention straps. Check the images; a slider is visible on most adjustable straps.
- Describing the closure here. Hook-and-eye and front clasps belong in [Closure](/marketplaces/bloomingdales/fields/fnb3-womens-bras).
- Describing support here. Underwire and lining belong in [Support & Construction](/marketplaces/bloomingdales/fields/fnb4-womens-bras).
- Ending the phrase with a period.

## How Osello fills this field

Osello treats Straps as a required parent-level text field capped at 254 characters. When a women's bras listing is filled in, the AI reads the description first, then the attributes, then the images, and writes one phrase naming the strap qualities it can support. The value is set once per style and shared by every size and colorway. Because the field is required, the listing shows as not ready until it has a value; see [required fields and listing readiness](/help/channels-listings/required-fields-and-listing-readiness). Use [custom instructions](/help/ai-prompts/custom-instructions) if your line uses a house term for a strap style.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is Straps required for women's bras on Bloomingdale's?

Yes. It is one of the required bullets in this department, and Osello will not submit the listing without it.

### What do I enter for a strapless bra?

The instruction is to leave the field blank for garments without straps, but a blank required field blocks submission. Enter "Strapless" so the bullet is truthful and the listing passes.

### Can I put "adjustable" and "convertible" in the same value?

Yes. Combine every quality that applies in one phrase, for example "Adjustable, convertible straps".

### Does the strap value change by size?

No. The bullet is one per style. Describe the straps as they are across the whole size run.
